Chapter 231: Unstoppable

Wang Tong slowly made his way in the blizzard, each step requiring all of his willpower and strength. But Wang Tong believed in himself, and would never give up.
After a while, Wang Tong paused to check his direction. He noticed that the two behind him were not doing very well. Li Ruoer's body had already become stiff, and Xiaoru was in an even worse condition. She had lost her consciousness, and her body temperature was dropping drastically.
The blizzard howled as if it were laughing at Wang Tong. Wang Tong realized that their walking speed was too slow, and even if they could eventually make it to the Aurora city, Xiaoru might be in grave danger. He needed to do something to help with their situation.
Wang Tong's eyes glinted, and then he shouted,” Einherjar Wannabe!”
”Hey, kiddo! You got at the most half hour in you. This is not a game, and there will be consequences!”
”I will take her to safety even if it leads to my death.”
Mr. Wannabe stopped talking. He knew that he would not be able to change Wang Tong's mind. He still remembered that day when the stupid kid risked his life to save that low tier robot. Mr. Wannabe knew that Wang Tong would not leave anyone behind.
”Come on.”
”Get ready, kiddo!”
Wang Tong channeled his GN force, and a golden glow erupted from his body. Wang Tong shouted at the top of his lungs.” METAL!”
In the darkness of the blizzard, Wang Tong's body shone with golden light, as if a lighthouse lit up the promise of home.
Wang Tong clutched the two girls under his both arms and started to run against the gale.
With the protection of the METAL suite, Wang Tong's speed had increased five folds, and he was able to see clearer in front of him. However, all these benefits came at the cost of drastic depletion of his GN force.
Wang Tong focused entirely on his speed. He had traveled another half hour against the wind... but the Aurora city was still nowhere to be seen.
Wang Tong suddenly realized that he had made a terrible mistake in calculating direction, he had overlooked a key variable: the earth's rotation.
”Hey kiddo, time is almost up. You need to think for yourself!”
Wang Tong pretended he didn't hear Mr. Wannabe's earnest suggestion. He recalculated his course in his mind and turned his face about 25 degrees to the left.
The wind was still howling. Wang Tong started to feel dizzy, a sign of his soul energy being overspent. His soul energy had reached only level four, but he was wearing a full coverage METAL suit. This was a suicidal act.
Wang Tong didn't mind the pain. He was willing to suffer any consequence as long as he could deliver the two to safety.
Mr. Wannabe also became quiet. Two seconds later, Wang Tong felt that the rate of depletion of his soul energy seemed to have slowed down. A few more minutes later, it had suddenly occurred to him that Mr. Wannabe was helping him with his own soul energy.
A grin flashed across Wang Tong's face. Although he was confident in his calculation, he was not so sure if he would be able to reach his destination.
”Remove the METAL.”
The METAL suit retracted. ”Mr. Wannabe, if I die here today, please find someone else to save you from your prison.”
”You idiot! I can hold my ground for a bit longer yet!” Mr. Wannabee howled out at him. Without the protection of the METAL suit, Wang Tong was one step closer to his demise.
Wang Tong clutched the two girls tighter under his arm and prepared for his final exertion. In a blink of an eye, the ruthless snow had already reached to his knee.
”I am Wang Tong. No one will stop me!” Wang Tong shouted and then he drew a gulp of fresh air and started running again. Wang Tong knew that this would be his final chance. Once he stopped, he would not be able to move again.
A few moments later, Wang Tong started to lose the feeling of his body. Soon, he began to lose his consciousness, except for only one thought,” Keep running.”
A light appeared in the distance, but Wang Tong was no longer be able to tell if it were the Aurora City or heaven.
”Xiaoru...If...”
Before Wang Tong could finish his mumble, he collapsed.
When he woke up, he saw that sparkly stars surrounded him, yet he could still not feel his body. Wang Tong was convinced that he was dead and this was heaven.
”Is this heaven? Gosh, this is boring.”
”Of course not.”
